Gardens on Archer is a long-run retail nursery first established in 1973. The business provides quality plant life and plant related products to residents of the Goulburn Valley and surrounds and has done so for more than 50 years.

The business is run from a beautifully presented retail nursery located on Archer Road in Kialla; just a 10-minute drive from central Shepparton. The business and associated freehold property are to be sold together.

The premises are positioned on 2.11 hectares (5.22 acres) of land and are comprised of a large fenced-in nursery area with shed and retail floor space with point of sale. There are newly constructed offices and an asphalt carpark which has recently been resurfaced and extended. There is another large industrial high bay shed on site which is 24x18m and is currently used as a contractor’s depot.

A house is also onsite which was used as an office building up until mid-2023. The house is connected to the nursery office/retail shed, phone system and internet. It is approximately 180m2.

Gardens on Archer is owned and operated by a husband-and-wife team, one of whom works 38 hours per week, the other around 8 hours. The business also employs a team of 5 staff including a nursery manager, 2 casual nursery assistants, a school-based apprentice, and a part time administration assistant.

There is opportunity to further grow this business with a more detailed website and potential online store. Utilising social media across all platforms would be beneficial and provide further exposure for the business.

The garden supplies retailing industry has performed well over the last five years. Demand for plants remains strong with new research showing the Australian green life sector continues to resist economic pressures.
